Online event: The Seven Big Myths About the Catholic Church

The Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen once said: “There are not more than 100 people in the world who truly hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they perceive to be the Catholic Church.”

Misconceptions, inaccurate perceptions and – yes – myths have colored opinions of the Church literally since Jesus walked among us. In THE SEVEN BIG MYTHS ABOUT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, Dr. Christopher Kaczor distinguishes fact from fiction regarding what the Church actually does believe … and teach. Join Dr. Kaczor and fellow Directors of Communication, Directors of Religious Education and Adult Faith Formation and others to learn how the Church can address:

• The Myth of Catholic Irrationality;
• The Myth of Catholic Indifference to Earthly Welfare;
• The Myth of Catholic Misogyny;
• The Myth of Opposition between Love and Procreation;
• The Myth of Catholic “Homophobia” and Inaction against HIV/AIDS;
• The Myth that there is No Rational Basis for Limiting Marriage to One Man and One Woman;
• The Myth of Priestly Pedophilia.

EVENT: Dr. Christopher Kaczor will host a live Web event to discuss and field questions about his new book, THE SEVEN BIG MYTHS ABOUT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

FORMAT: Dr. Kaczor will open with general comments about the book and his reasons for writing it, then will take questions from participants through the website, Facebook and Twitter.
